Premium Pick

Top pick: #3 (VOODOO SWINGE) - Very lightly raced 5-year-old by "Unbridled's Song" has plenty of talent (8-5-1-1), but is also on the fragile side as his career has been beset with several lengthy layoffs. Strong finisher hasn't run since a narrow loss in the G3 Miami Mile H. at Calder on April 30th and goes today off a trainer switch to Mike Matz. Training fine and grey colt is the horse to beat.

2nd pick: #7 (Cherokee Artist) - Veteran stakes performer hasn't won since an easy score here just over a year ago in a $100K-optional claimer. That's been his only race on this surface and he does have some fine early speed. Contends at a nice price.

3rd pick: #8 (Monument Hill) - Very lightly raced 5-year-old by "Royal Academy" is (6-3-2-1) on the grass and draws a fine post for his stalking style. Working well at Saratoga and think he'll do fine in this small stakes.
